Juan Archuleta expects former foe Kai Asakura to do well in his return to flyweight at UFC 310. Former RIZIN bantamweight champion Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) challenges Alexandre Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) for the 125-pound title Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas ( ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+). Asakura’s last win before signing with the UFC was a TKO finish of Archuleta to claim the RIZIN bantamweight title last December.
